.. _upgrading.3-to-4:
I've made great efforts to ensure that the upgrade experience for most will be seamless and uneventful. However, no matter the degree to which you use ramsey/uuid (customized or unchanged), there are a number of things to be aware of as you upgrade your code to use version 4.
.. tip::
These are the changes that are most likely to affect you. For a full list of changes, take a look at the `4.0.0 changelog`_.
.. _upgrading.3-to-4.new:
What's New? ###########
There are a lot of new features in ramsey/uuid! Here are a few of them:
Support :ref:version 6 UUIDs <nonstandard.version6>.
Support :ref:version 2 (DCE Security) UUIDs <rfc4122.version2>.
Add classes to represent each version of RFC 4122 UUID. When generating new UUIDs or creating UUIDs from existing strings, bytes, or integers, if the UUID is an RFC 4122 variant, one of these instances will be returned:
Rfc4122\\UuidV1 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV1>Rfc4122\\UuidV2 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV2>Rfc4122\\UuidV3 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV3>Rfc4122\\UuidV4 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV4>Rfc4122\\UuidV5 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV5>Rfc4122\\NilUuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\NilUuid>Add classes to represent version 6 UUIDs, GUIDs, and nonstandard (non-RFC 4122 variants) UUIDs:
Nonstandard\\UuidV6 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Nonstandard\\UuidV6>Nonstandard\\Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Nonstandard\\Uuid>Guid\\Guid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Guid\\Guid>Add :php:meth:Uuid::fromDateTime() <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid::fromDateTime> to create version 1 UUIDs from instances of
DateTimeInterface.
.. _upgrading.3-to-4.changed:
What's Changed? ###############
.. attention::
ramsey/uuid version 4 requires PHP 7.2 or later.
Quite a bit has changed, but much remains familiar. Unless you've changed the behavior of ramsey/uuid through custom codecs, providers, generators, etc., the standard functionality and API found in version 3 will not differ much.
.. rubric:: Here are the highlights:
return types for the static methods <upgrading.3-to-4.static-methods> on the
:php:class:Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid> class. They've changed slightly, but this won't affect you if your type hints
use :php:interface:UuidInterface <Ramsey\\Uuid\\UuidInterface>.return types for three methods <upgrading.3-to-4.return-types> defined on :php:interface:UuidInterface <Ramsey\\Uuid\\UuidInterface> have changed, breaking backwards compatibility. Take note and update your code.There are a number of deprecations. <upgrading.3-to-4.deprecations> These shouldn't affect you now, but please
take a look at the recommendations and update your code soon. These will go away in ramsey/uuid version 5.throws custom exceptions for everything <reference.exceptions>. The exception
UnsatisfiedDependencyException no longer exists.interface <upgrading.3-to-4.interfaces> and :ref:constructor <upgrading.3-to-4.constructors> changes and update your code... tip::
If you maintain a public project that uses ramsey/uuid version 3 and you find that **your code does not require any
changes to upgrade** to version 4, consider using the following version constraint in your project's ``composer.json``
file:
.. code-block:: bash
composer require ramsey/uuid:"^3 || ^4"
This will allow any `downstream users`_ of your project who aren't ready to upgrade to version 4 the ability to
continue using your project while deciding on an appropriate upgrade schedule.
If your downstream users do not specify ramsey/uuid as a dependency, and they use functionality specific to version
3, they may need to update their own Composer dependencies to use ramsey/uuid ``^3`` to avoid using version 4.
.. _upgrading.3-to-4.static-methods:
Uuid Static Methods ###################
All the static methods on the :php:class:Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid> class continue to work as they did in version 3,
with this slight change: they now return more-specific types, all of which implement the new interface
:php:interface:Rfc4122\\UuidInterface <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidInterface>, which implements the familiar interface
:php:interface:UuidInterface <Ramsey\\Uuid\\UuidInterface>.
If your type hints are for :php:interface:UuidInterface <Ramsey\\Uuid\\UuidInterface>, then you should not require any
changes.
.. list-table:: Return types for Uuid static methods :align: center :header-rows: 1

and :php:meth:Uuid::fromInteger() <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid::fromInteger> all return an appropriate more-specific type,
based on the input value. If the input value is a version 1 UUID, for example, the return type will be an
:php:class:Rfc4122\\UuidV1 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV1>. If the input looks like a UUID or is a 128-bit number, but
it doesn't validate as an RFC 4122 UUID, the return type will be a :php:class:Nonstandard\\Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Nonstandard\\Uuid>. These return types implement :php:interface:UuidInterface <Ramsey\\Uuid\\UuidInterface>.
If using this as a type hint, you shouldn't need to make any changes.
.. _upgrading.3-to-4.return-types:

Moontoast\Math\BigNumber, depending on the environment. In version 4, they all return numeric string values for
the sake of consistency. These methods :ref:are also deprecated <upgrading.3-to-4.deprecations.uuid> and will be
removed in version 5.

.. _upgrading.3-to-4.deprecations.uuid:
:php:class:Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid> as an instantiable class is deprecated. In ramsey/uuid version 5, its constructor
will be private, and the class will be final. For more information, see :ref:faq.final
.. note::
:php:class:`Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid>` is being replaced by more-specific concrete classes, such as:
* :php:class:`Rfc4122\\UuidV1 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV1>`
* :php:class:`Rfc4122\\UuidV3 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV3>`

* :php:class:`Rfc4122\\UuidV5 <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidV5>`
* :php:class:`Nonstandard\\Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Nonstandard\\Uuid>`
However, the :php:class:`Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid>` class isn't going away. It will still hold common constants and
static methods.
Uuid::UUID_TYPE_IDENTIFIER is deprecated. Use Uuid::UUID_TYPE_DCE_SECURITY instead.
Uuid::VALID_PATTERN is deprecated. Use the following instead:
.. code-block:: php
use Ramsey\Uuid\Validator\GenericValidator;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Rfc4122\Validator as Rfc4122Validator;
$genericPattern = (new GenericValidator())->getPattern();
$rfc4122Pattern = (new Rfc4122Validator())->getPattern();
The following :php:class:Uuid <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid> methods are deprecated. If using these methods, you shouldn't have
any problems on version 4, but you are encouraged to update your code, since they will go away in version 5.
getClockSeqHiAndReserved()getClockSeqLow()getClockSequence()getLeastSignificantBits()getMostSignificantBits()getNode()getTimeHiAndVersion()getTimeLow()getTimeMid()getTimestamp().. hint::
There are no direct replacements for these methods. In ramsey/uuid version 3, they returned ``int`` or
Moontoast\\Math\\BigNumber values, depending on the environment. To update your code, you should use the recommended
alternates listed in :ref:`Deprecations: UuidInterface <upgrading.3-to-4.deprecations.uuidinterface>`, combined with
the arbitrary-precision mathematics library of your choice (e.g., `brick/math`_, `gmp`_, `bcmath`_, etc.).

.. _upgrading.3-to-4.constructors:
Constructor Changes ###################
There are a handful of constructor changes that might affect your use of ramsey/uuid, especially if you customize the library.
The constructor for :php:class:Ramsey\\Uuid\\Uuid is deprecated. However, there are a few changes to it that might
affect your use of this class.
The first constructor parameter used to be array $fields and is now :php:interface:Rfc4122\\FieldsInterface $fields <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\FieldsInterface>.
Converter\TimeConverterInterface $timeConverter is required as a new fourth parameter.
While Builder\DefaultUuidBuilder is deprecated, it now inherits from Rfc4122\UuidBuilder, which requires
Converter\TimeConverterInterface $timeConverter as its second constructor argument.
Provider\Node\FallbackNodeProvider now requires iterable<Ramsey\Uuid\Provider\NodeProviderInterface> as its
constructor parameter.
.. code-block::
use MyPackage\MyCustomNodeProvider;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Provider\Node\FallbackNodeProvider;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Provider\Node\RandomNodeProvider;
use Ramsey\Uuid\Provider\Node\SystemNodeProvider;
$nodeProviders = [];
$nodeProviders[] = new MyCustomNodeProvider();
$nodeProviders[] = new SystemNodeProvider();
$nodeProviders[] = new RandomNodeProvider();
$provider = new FallbackNodeProvider($nodeProviders);
The constructor for Provider\Time\FixedTimeProvider no longer accepts an array. It accepts
:php:class:Type\\Time <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Type\\Time> instances.
.. rubric:: Footnotes
.. [#f1] This mixed return type could have been an int, string, or Moontoast\Math\BigNumber. In version 4,
ramsey/uuid cleans this up for the sake of consistency.
.. [#f2] The :php:meth:getFields() <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Rfc4122\\UuidInterface::getFields> method returns a
:php:class:Type\\Hexadecimal <Ramsey\\Uuid\\Type\\Hexadecimal> instance; you will need to construct an array if
you wish to match the return value of the deprecated getFieldsHex() method.
